Anne Culbertson

For over 17 years, I’ve been helping people buy and sell homes. But it’s also my background in brand and marketing communications that proves to be an invaluable asset for my clients.
Before real estate, I enjoyed a thriving career in design, art direction and brand marketing for some of the world’s most iconic brands. This experience comes into play to capture my clients' key objectives, develop a meticulously planned listing campaign for sellers, and help buyers shine in offer presentations. My professional background, combined with many years of real estate practice and impeccable relationships within the industry, all come together as a distinct advantage that has resulted in countless thrilling outcomes for my clients.
My thorough command of the local real estate market, as well as a deep sense of what it takes to champion my client’s needs and help them reach their goals, has propelled my success to the top 5% of East Bay agents.
In 2012, I helped my buyers succeed in purchasing the most significant and valuable listing in Berkeley at that time — a landmark Victorian estate that was pursued by buyers from around the state. From that year forward, I received the Platinum Circle Award at The Grubb Company, an esteemed recognition for the top producers at the company.
Joining The Agency in 2023 enables me to expand my client’s reach and exposure. The Agency is a global, boutique real estate brokerage representing a portfolio of properties across the world's prime markets. It is also a top luxury brokerage, and one of the premier boutique brands in the world. Our clients and agents benefit from the shared resources of our international team, including in-house cutting-edge creative, public relations and tech divisions. Our listings get exposure to a national and international stage, an arena which also assists buyers exploring multiple markets. At the same time, it is an intimate, service-oriented brand that places the highest value on client relationships and their success.
Since moving to the Bay Area from Seattle in 1988, I have witnessed a cultural evolution in the East Bay, becoming a blooming, bustling, creative place where everyone wants to be. I relish this renaissance, and the thought of people enjoying strolls through their neighborhoods, admiring their neighbors’ shiny front doors and serene gardens, and contributing to a place that has become a true destination for ‘home’.
